Surfing Highlights

Vodi

A good quality, private and uncrowded left-hander off the resort that you can paddle out to any time. It works on all tides; mid to high tide offers the best conditions, but it’s still a fun wave and a good ride on a low tide. On big swells, you can get a nice almond barrell on take-off, and come out for a few more turns. Or you can easily avoid the barrell and just do turns for 100-150m.

Mauroofs (Kasabu)

Hocus Pocus

Another wave that you can reach by boat from the resort – it’s a hollow, advanced right-hander. It needs west/south-west winds and a south-west swell which needs to be above 14 seconds for the swell to get into that break. It is quite shallow.

Machines

Probably the best right-hander in the area, especially when it is really firing. It lights up pretty regularly in medium to larger southeast or even straight south swells—whenever there is enough water to wrap through the north of the island pass.

More watersports activities include: snorkellin, seabobbing, jetskiing,waterskiing, mono-skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, catamaran, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons.

Surfing

Dhaalu Atoll offers spots exposed to all wind directions and for all levels. There is always a left or a right hander well protected from the predominant south westerly wind directions, but south easterly or even easterly winds may affect all spots negatively. All spots are close to each other so you can change spots within a few minutes! Niyama offers the following surf services.: Surf Passes (2.5 hours out at the breaks, with guide and boat). Surf Lessons (2.5 hours for the beginner with instructor and includes board rental and boat). Tow Surfing (with jet ski at an extra charge) plus Surf Pass. Surfboard rental.

Surfboards

Please note that maximum size of surfboards allowed on Maldives domestic flights is 7 ft including the boardbag. However, 6.5ft is easier to accommodate. Furthermore, a full bag of 3-5 boards is extremely difficult for the sea plane to accommodate. However, no board bag gets left behind. In a situation where a surfboard gets bumped, it is put on the next available plane. Placing surfboards on a domestic flight while flying seaplane incurs and extra cost. All terms and fees for surfboards and luggage allowances are subject to change without a notice from the airlines.
